First off, what brand prescription diet? If Hill's Science Diet, that could 
be the problem!   What are the ingredients after chicken?  If corn and 
grains, you could try her on a lamb and rice food.  A good natural food, 
with no preservatives!  Before that I would have her checked for giardia. 
If that is clear I would gradually change her over to lamb and rice and 
add a probiotic to her food. Also plain canned pumpkin is good to add to 
kibble, as well as yogurt.  How old is Athena?
